this directory we have endeavored to g^ive Stephenson IXcounty farmers a complete and reliable directory of the farmers, breeders and merchants of the county, with such other information as will make the directory a valuable reference book.

The task of calling on every farmer in a county and collecting- the information for such a directory is a tremendous one. We have received splendid co-operation from the farmers and business men of the county, without which the publication of such a directory would be impossible. In a very few cases we have found farmers unwilling to give the information requested, which accounts for a few^ names that do not appear.

A few mistakes are bound to occur in a directory that involves so large an amount of work, but we have spared no effort or expense to make the information complete and accurate, and we believe that the mistakes are very few.

W^e want to speak a word of appreciation for the advertisers whose liberal support has helped materially to bear the heavy expense of publishing this directory, and ask that you favor them with your patronage whenever possible.

We hope and believe that the publication of this directory will be a real service to Stephenson county farmers and in line with Prairie Farmer's policy of service to the farmers of Illinois. We hope that the increased circula- tion of Prairie Farmer in Stephenson county which has re- sulted will help in the movement for better farming, better farm living, and more prosperity for the county, and that our many new friends will become permanent members of the big Pr.\irie Farmer family.

DURABILITY One thing that adds excess value and life to the Series 18 FOUR and SIX is the special steels used in the manufacture, made to Studebaker's own specifications especially for Studebaker cars. Another is the scientific heat treatment of vital parts, like gears, axles, axle shafts, etc., which makes them stronger, longer-wearing, and permits lighter weight with increased strength. A third is the absolute accuracy of Studebaker manufacturing processes, and the resulting perfect fit and alignment of all parts, and perfect balance of motor parts and the entire car, reducing friction and wear to the very lowest point. This is why Studebaker Cars "stand up," give continuous service month after month, year after year, with low up-keep cost. This is why a Stude- baker in the end is one of the most economical cars in the world to buy. Come in and let us give you a demonstration. 40-H. P., 7-Passenger FOUR $985 50-H.

^ Dodge Brothers are their own severest critics, and they will never wait for the pubhc to ask for a better car from them.

^ They try to anticipate—to travel ahead—to give even more than expected.

^ No material, no part, no accessory is barred from Dodge Brothers car because it is too high priced.

CJ The only question asked, the only proof demanded, is of its goodness.

^ It will pay you to visit us and examine the car.

^ The gasoline consumption is unusually low.

^ The tire mileage is unusually high.

^ Touring Car or Roadster, $835; Winter Touring Car or Road- ster, $1,000; Sedan or Coupe, $1,265. (All prices f. o. b. Detroit.)

NEW YORK LIFE INSURANCE CO. furnishes absolute protection (invalid income—old age fund—death benefit) at a very low net cost. Why Men and Women Should Insure:

(1) "Only one man in 100 who lives to be 50 leaves anything at death except his insurance.

(2) Statistics show that 85% of the men who have money now will lose it before they reach the age of 65.

(3) Of all the men living at age 65, 3% are self-supporting, the other 97% are dependent upon relatives or charity.

(4) Out of 100 average healthy men age 35, statistics show the following facts when they reach 60: 36 will be dead, 1 w-ill be rich, 4 will be wealthy, 54 will be dependent upon friends, relatives or charitj^"—"Eastern Underwriter."

MORAL—Insure now while in good health, later yon may not pass an examination. For the most complete and up-to-date policies on life insurance, see, write or phone fl717L^II7V 252 Pleasant Street JC*• VJ* JLiI1iCjI\.JL4£4 I FREEPORT, ILL.

You Can Use Prairie Farmer Every Day

GOOD many Prairie Farmer readers say that a farmer might as well try to farm without modern machinery as without Prairie Farmer. A There is a good deal of truth in this statement—more than many farmers who have not been reading Prairie Farmer regularlj' realize.

The keynote of Prairie Farmer's policy is service. All the energies and resources of the paper are used to this end. By doing for its readers many things that they are not in position to do for themselves, Prairie Farmer makes itself indispensable to them. For 76 years

it has been a leader in Illinois agriculture, a position which it

fills even more successfully than it did in 1841, when it was first published as Illinois' pioneer farm paper.

It is not the primary purpose of Prairie Farmer to teach you how to farm. You know the peculiarities of your own farm better than we do, and experience has taught you more about the needs of each field than we can possibly MR. GREGORY know. Our task is to supplement your experience by adding to it the experience of ourselves and thousands of other farmers.

When you meet your neighbor farmers in town, or talk with them over the back fence, you learn many a lesson from their experience, which is a much cheaper way to learn than to find it out at your own expense. You do not follow all the advice your neighbor gives you. But you do get from him many ideas that you can use with profit in your own business.

Prairie Farmer makes every farmer in Illinois your neighbor. Whenever we hear of a farmer who has made a special success in any line of farming we find out how he did it, and print his experience for the benefit of other farmers. Some- times we get this information from him by mail. Sometimes we send a trained member of our staff to see him. No matter what the expense, we get this information, which, in many cases, is worth hundreds of dollars to our readers.

No one farmer, of course, can follow out all the ideas from the experience of these successful farmers. But out of this wealth of experience and ideas each reader can find many things that will help him to make his farming more profitable.

This is a service that can only be given by a farm paper published in your own state, edited by practical men, and full of the spirit of service to its readers.

Prairie Farmer is proud of the fact that its editors are practical farmers. Clifford V. Gregory, Editor-in-Chief, owns and manages a 190-acre live stock farm in Northern Illinois. Frank I. Mann, Editor of the Soils and Crop department, writes from the experience of his 500-acre grain farm in the heart of the corn belt. Mrs. Lena Stevenson Mann, Home Department Editor, is a farmer's wife who writes from the heart of her own experiences in the farm home the articles that are an inspiration to farmers' wives all over the state. Horton Green, Poultry

Editor, is a combination of poultryman and preacher, and is a success at both.

Our legal department is in charge of one of Chicago's best lawyers, a man whose specialty is farm law. One of the best veterinarians in the country has charge of our veterinary department. This policy of keeping its feet on the ground makes

192 Prairie Farmer practical—a paper that sees the farmer's problems through the farmer's own eyes.

Coupled with Prairie Farmer's policy of giving the best experience of successful farmers, is the policy of giving reports of the new facts brought out at all the leading experiment stations. Much of the work of the experiment stations is valuable to every farmer when stated in plain, brief English, with the frills cut out and only the practical facts left. The results of every important experiment in this country are given in Prairie Farmer.

News as well as information is an important part of a real farm paper. Every farmer wants to know what is happening in the agricultural world. He wants reports of fairs, shows and important farmers' meetings. He wants to know what Congress and the State Legislature are doing along agricultural lines. All these things Prairie Farmer gives him.

Our reports of the State Legislature are especially complete and valuable. "Bill's" comments on legislative affairs are mighty interesting reading and give the reader an insight into state politics that he cannot get in any other way. In publishing these letters Prairie Farmer is doing a work for better citizenship and better government that is bringing splendid results.

After all, the true success of the farm is not measured by its production of corn and hogs, but by its boys and girls and its home life. The farm that is producing stalwart citizens, that is building character and real home life, is the farm that represents the highest type of success.

That is the kind of a farm that Prairie Farmer wants every one of its readers to have. For that reason we devote a good deal of space to articles that will inspire the boys and girls, and the older folks, too, to higher ideals of farm and community life. In this we are doing a service that cannot be measured in dollars and cents, but that will be reflected in the homes and citizens of the future.

Prairie Farmer guarantees every one of its advertisers. We promise that in dealing with them you will receive square and honest treatment. We go further than that, and do everything we can to protect our readers from fraud of every kind. We turn the searchlight of publicity on every swindler who tries to separate the farmer from his money, and by doing so save our readers thousands of dollars every year.

You can take advantage of the feature of Prairie Farmer's service by con- sulting us before investing your money in any scheme that you do not know anything about. With the facilities at our command we will make a full investi- gation and give you a report.

You can take advantage of Prairie Farmer's personal service in many other ways. We will help you solve everyday problems on your farm. Questions about farm law, live stock diseases, farm machinery, soils and crops, dairy, poultry, homemaking and any other line of farming are answered without charge for our readers. We want you to use Praiwe Farmer. We are your best friend, and are glad to do anything we can to serve you We are glad to have you in the Prairie Farmer family and want you to use Prairie Farmer every day. http://stores.ebay.com/Ancestry-Found The Elgin Tractor
